Our Goal

Our goal is to collect information that is currently unknown about Striped Bass for the betterment of this species. We contribute information to help conservation efforts.

Our projects are undertaken by research students at Acadia in collaboration with local NGOs, community fishers, First Nations, government organizations, and other academics. The projects we undertake will lead to publications in peer-reviewed scientific articles, but we also try to contribute the collective knowledge on Striped Bass back to our community. Scientific articles are the best way to disseminate new knowledge about Striped Bass so that the information can be used by others. We will try to post relevant and interesting scientific information on this website in a user-friendly form.

Independent

The SBRT is an independent research group. Acadia University hosts our website because the primary investigator, Dr. Trevor Avery, is a faculty member at Acadia. There are other research groups at Acadia that also undertake research on Striped Bass; some of those groups and their projects are listed on this website for information only. SBRT funding is provided by many sources (see projects), but we are not 'controlled' by funders.
